This was a great book! The book was all about turning ordinary things into whatever you wanted them to be. You could turn mud into cake, IF you don't really take a bite. The book took a lot of things that children make believe everyday and made it into a story.
As I read the book it really took me back to my childhood. I remember making mud cakes, and pretending the bathtub was a boat. I think that students would love hearing or reading this story. It was very magical in the way that it could transport you back in time and help you remember adventures you may have gone on as a child. I think it would be great to read in the classroom and discuss with the students about the different things that they may have done that were similar to the book.
David McPhail did a great job with the pictures and the colors were very vibrant. The illustrations would easily catch the eye of the students and help them visualize what the author was saying. I think I will read this to the students in my class next week and see how they like it and if they have ever done any of this stuff.
